So after 2.5 rounds (including the First Four), the ACC has lost half of its teams.

Last year we had 6 teams make the S16. This year we're guaranteed no more than 4.

Xavier is over performing as fuck right now.

Who's ready for think pieces about how overrated the ACC was?

 

[Brian Fellows]

Nah that poster is trying to dispute his behavior.

You at least understand the slight difference.

Yeah 5 minutes into the game and that would have been perfectly acceptable IMO. Izzo is the master of the early technical to get his team pumped up and it usually gets them a few make up calls.

 

[spyder_ur]

OK I guess you guys are looking for a reason why Northwestern lost.

You don't win games playing first half like that.

To dwindle to it one call and because Chris Collins got a technical is the sole reason is not the full picture.

Not sure I follow. My reactions were actually in response to all the complaints about that one call and what a big 4 point swing it was. We're in agreement about that it seems.

I think they lost mostly because the Zags are a good, deep, physical team. They gave it a good run.

Hot damn.
I picked X over FSU in my bracket.
Not looking fantastic overall, but looking really good in my office pool now.

Overrated conference is overrated.

Watch them have have 4 teams in the Elite Eight

If Saint Mary's beats Arizona I might scream, I've taken too many L's today in my bracket

 

[Bishman]

Let's go Saint Mary's!

Keep the pace of this game slow and steady with the efficient offense.

FSU and Zona out of WVU's way if we can get past Gonzaga?

My bracket can fuck off. I'd love it.

 

[unknownstranger]

Come on Saint Mary's. Make Gonzaga's wins look better (nobody cares that we beat Arizona early in the season).

 

[bachikarn]

Go Gators

 

[Brian Fellows]

I've never liked Zona. Always hated Lute Olsen. So Go Gaels! Even if your nickname is dumb.

Go Gators

The granny style free throw must stay. Plus nobody is going to miss seeing UVA play.

 

[DirtyManos]

St. Mary's really blew their lead, holy crap.

Hope Arizona loses.

 

[Proelite]

Butler and MTSU fighting for the chance to be destroyed by UNC.

More big guys should try it. Pretty sure from a physics perspective, it is easier to be more consistent.

Take another L 😆

ACC taking a beating today (Syracuse included).

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Go Gators

 

[sooperkool]

I can't lose 2 Final 4 teams today....

 

[Velcro Fly]

Purdue getting the ass o' clock timeslot here

 

[Falchion]

UVA on pace for a blistering 34 points.

 

[Silkworm]

Go Gators

As the great Joakim Noah once said, "Them Gator Boys are hot!" (or words to that effect) :-D

Just need them to keep it up in the 2nd half. They have a penchant for going through long dry spells offensively, but if they don't let UVA get on an offensive run, I feel good about things.

Go Gators!

 

[spyder_ur]

This St. Mary's - Zona game is really good. Very well played.

Also, if you like post play and have mixed feelings that it seems to be going away in modern basketball, it's on display in spades in this one.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

This Zona St Mary game is pretty good right now. Y'all need to watch it.

 

[lt519]

Yeah this is a great game, St Mary's passing is excellent but Arizona is clearly more athletic. Foul trouble is gonna do them in. The quality of games has been all over the place today. Virginia is setting a record for airballs.

 

[BTM]

UVA getting destroyed

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Good lawd Virginia.

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

Not even watching the game but UVA 17 points with 17:30 left in the game? LOL

 

[BajiBoxer]

He got his face in the way of that guy's shoulder.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Go Gators

*pats head *

Florida usually has a five minute period during their games where they forget all the fundamentals of basketball, so I'm not ready to call it game over just yet.

 

[lt519]

St Mary's had several open looks at threes this half and didn't hit any. Difference in the game right now.

 

[Zackat]

Yep really frustrating.


Also, is that SFV E-League commercial airing a lot? I havent watched much of the tournament to this point.

And Go Gators.

 

[RecRoulette]

Man, what a goddamn massacre by Florida. When they're firing they can be insanely dangerous.

 

[Silkworm]

This is what I fear but Virginia is not a high scoring team so I'm hoping if the Gators go cold then Virginia won't be able to take too much advantage of it. So far so good.

 

[lt519]

Markannen is getting away with a lot of shit this game.

 

[DominoKid]

The way UVA is losing is making my day. I may hate Duke. But I loathe Bennett-ball

 

[Jarate]

Man, there has been some insanely bad and untimely calls today. The foul.call on St Mary's was awful

 

[BearPawB]

Feels like the refs have taken some hype away from several of the games this year

 

[The Outsider]

Yep, that's definitely a valid point. I thought about mentioning something along those lines, but I didn't want to put my foot in my mouth though.

But, like you said, keep this level of play up and it'll be smooth sailing.

 

[Rainy]

holy shit at that florida score lmao

 

[Azerth]

gg saint marys. now on to xavier

 

[Kalnos]

st marys game went to shit when they called a foul on the guy who took an elbow to the face

 

[pxleyes]

So, Go Gators.

 

[BTM]

Holy shot Matthias
